Mar 31, 2026

We have audited the standalone financial statements
of Shadowfax Technologies Limited (formerly known
as Shadowfax Technologies Private Limited) (the
“Company”) which comprise the standalone balance
sheet as at 31 March 2026, and the standalone
statement of profit and loss (including other
comprehensive income), standalone statement
of changes in equity and standalone statement of
cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
standalone financial statements, including material
accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information
and according to the explanations given to us, the
aforesaid standalone financial statements give the
information required by the Companies Act, 2013
(“Act”) in the manner so required and give a true and
fair view in conformity with the accounting principles
generally accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the
Company as at 31 March 2026, and its profit and other
comprehensive income, changes in equity and its cash
flows for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the
Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under
Section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under
those SAs are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements section of our report. We are
independent of the Company in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India together with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
standalone financial statements under the provisions
of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the standalone financial statements of
the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the standalone financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.

Other Information

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the other information. The other
information comprises the information included in
the Annual report, but does not include the financial
statements and auditor’s report thereon. The Annual
report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements
does not cover the other information and we will not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above when it becomes
available and, in doing so, consider whether the
other information is materially inconsistent with the
standalone financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.

When we read the Annual report, if we conclude
that there is a material misstatement therein, we
are required to communicate the matter to those
charged with governance and take necessary actions,
as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Management''s and Board of Directors''
Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial
Statements

The Company’s Management and Board of Directors
are responsible for the matters stated in Section
134(5) of the Act with respect to the preparation of
these standalone financial statements that give a
true and fair view of the state of affairs, profit/ loss
and other comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Company in accordance with
the accounting principles generally accepted in
India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
(Ind AS) specified under Section 133 of the Act. This
responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions
of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the
Company and for preventing and detecting frauds
and other irregularities; selection and application of
appropriate accounting policies; making judgments
and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and design, implementation and maintenance
of adequate internal financial controls, that were
operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and
completeness of the accounting records, relevant to
the preparation and presentation of the standalone
financial statements that give a true and fair view and
are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, the
Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Board of
Directors either intends to liquidate the Company
or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative
but to do so.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for overseeing
the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor''s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the standalone financial statements as
a whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the standalone financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design
and perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the
Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the company has adequate
internal financial controls with reference to
financial statements in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by the Management and Board of Directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the
Management and Board of Directors use of the
going concern basis of accounting in preparation
of standalone financial statements and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions
that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the standalone financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events or
conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the standalone financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the
standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with
a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and
to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged
with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the standalone
financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that
a matter should not be communicated in our report
because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
